    Trans Tasman - remember when JetConnect crews were the best?

    I'm flying TT regularly now the borders are open. JetConnect operated flights are just terrible right now. On my latest flight, it took them 2 1/2 hours to complete the J meal service. I'd hate to think how cold the meals were by the time they reached row 3. At least they saved money on...

    Today’s QF9 has been cancelled and ExpertFlyer shows no availability - in any class - on either QF1 or QF9 until next Wednesday. You also can’t book them on qantas.com. Any ideas what’s going on? Maybe the 9 is being paused thanks to Russia?

    VS status credits on Velocity

    Hi all First-time poster, long-term lurker. Has anyone else noticed how (relatively) difficult it is to earn status credits when flying VS under the new status credit system? We're flying J SYD-LHR (via HKG) later in the year. On VS, it's going to earn us 260 status credits return. If we...
